here we are, making a choice for who will be the next president of the united states. so that person is going to be an arm of the government, an arm of the state, period, right? even a republican who is supposedly going to prefer smaller government, although like too small to provide health care for everyone but just small enough to be inserted transvaginally. it's hard to know what small government look like. but no matter what, these folks we're listening to are going to have to tell us what they're going to use the government to do. mitt romney can't tell us what he's going to use his private business to do because he's running for president. how do we make a choice like that in the context of an election? >> in fact, what we've seen in 21st century republican party polit politics, exemplified by romney, george w. bush, santorum, gingrich, too, is they're not for limiting government. they're just not. republicans when they controlled everything in washington increased the size of government by 60%, nondefense spending. this is not just an artifact of war. terri shai
